Where this tide comes from

M · Global model

Malbang has no tide station nearby: its tide is calculated with the global FES2022 model, from the nearest model cells offshore (the first one 1.7 mi away). It may differ from the real tide by a few minutes and inches, and more with wind or storms. Heights are above mean sea level, not chart datum, so low tides are negative. Not for navigation.

Model attribution: FES2022 Tide was produced by LEGOS, NOVELTIS and CLS, funded by CNES, and distributed by AVISO (https://doi.org/10.24400/527896/a01-2024.004), AVISO licence (https://www.aviso.altimetry.fr/fileadmin/documents/data/License_Aviso.pdf). Modified by TidePlanet: constants interpolated from the nearest model cells offshore; heights above mean sea level.

Sea and waves

The sea at Malbang

7-day waves

Sea stateSea state: smooth

Smooth Douglas 2 · light breeze, Beaufort 2
Waves 0.4 ft · 6.1 s from the southeast (126°)
Swell 0.3 ft · 5.9 s from the southeast
Current 0.5 mph toward the ENE

The waves you may find

  • Most commonMost common0.2 ft
  • Significant0.4 ft
  • Highest expectedHighest0.8 ft

One wave in seven is higher than the significant height, and about 3 times a day one reaches 0.8 ft. Before heading out, expect waves of up to 0.8 ft.

Wind on the coast and offshore

On the coast 2 mph ENE · gusts 6
Offshore (7.9 mi SSW)Offshore 4 mph ENE · gusts 7

Cross-offshore wind. The coast faces southwest and the wind comes off the land at an angle: calmer water near the shore, and bait and boats drift out to sea.

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water is steady these days, with no sudden changes.

Water warmer than normal for late October (+1.1 °F).

The best window, 5:04 am to 9:00 am, has glassy water, though with barely any waves.

An estimate for this stretch of coast, not for a specific break: every beach or reef works its own way (its tide, bottom and angle). Check it when you get there.

Follow the flags and the lifeguards, and don’t paddle out if the surf is above your level: this score is a guide, not a substitute for what you see when you get there.

Your diving day at a glance

The best window, 12:10 pm to 1:30 pm, combines slack water at low tide, little swell, light wind, weak current and the sun high. Also good from 6:40 am to 8:00 am, with slack water at high tide, little swell, light wind and weak current.

Slack water comes from the tide: in inlets, channels and between islands the water can keep running for an hour or two after. Ask the local dive shop.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:43–2:43 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:15–3:15 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 7:41–8:41 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:49–8:49 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity

According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.

Water depth

Deepens quickly

The bottom deepens quickly: 33 ft of water 0.25 mi from shore. It reaches 164 ft at 1.1 mi.

From the shoreline (1,050 ft from Malbang) out to sea, heading southwest.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep950 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.25 mi
  • 66 ft deep0.4 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.1 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. 33 ft of water just 0.25 mi from shore: a good cast reaches deep water. Current and surf hit harder here.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. Shore diving works here: 33 ft at 0.25 mi and 66 ft at 0.4 mi from shore.

Rough estimate: here the data comes in cells of about 0.3 mi and misses details near shore (rocks, sandbars, small coves).
